The use of Fluoroelastomers for very demanding performance applications has been used for many years.  Recent engineering requirements for better performance, fluid-resistance and extended warranties has made designing and developing components comprised of the fluoroelastomer to various substrate combination more difficult.  The work described in this paper will show that through innovative chemical design and product development these tough and demanding applications can be met.
